I love my Rugby, enjoy my cricket but most of all am passionate about sport. I also enjoy penning the odd couple of words.

The Wallabies are through to the semi-final. In a gripping quarter-final, where there was inches between Australia and South Africa, Australia showed that they…
It appears that the rugby union community in Australia are nervous, almost afraid to stand up and proclaim in an evangelical shout: "yes we…
If this post was the only thing to go on you would say that the All Black supporters are extremely poor winners and a bunch of massive galoots. Thankfully I know others who contrast the poor temperament displayed here.
Well played all blacks, poor performance wallabies,
Out! Four more years for the out-muscled Wallabies
and didnt someone just beat someone in the rugby league yesterday as well? and didnt manly take out the premiership?
Ashes… probably should not talk about that one hahaha
Why the Wallabies will win it all in 2015
I think this is interesting,
Jake White could have quite an influence on the direction of the Australian squad composition if he moulds a winning brumbies side, then if he takes the the Springbok job in a few years he may be facing a monster of his own making

Really enjoyed this article, do not agree with the reasoning but an excellent read.
I think the All-blacks are going to experience some selection issues and there is definitely a lack of consistency from them this season. Home ground advantage is a massive boost but can be overshadowed with the sheer intensity and importance of a rugby world cup.
I am very excited to see things kick off come Friday!
Put your RWC bets on Black
I think Palu might struggle checking the fitness boxes the whole world cup, Its possible he may not sneak in there unless injury calls him to step up
Wallabies side named, O'Connor benched for Cup opener
you know mate, less assumptions would equate to more constructive criticism and less parched insults.
If you bothered to read more of my work you might realise that some people have a specific writing style and this does not necessarily mean that they are attempting to “sound smart for the sake of it” nor am I a moron.
I merely wished to convey my excitement at seeing a team emerge that will perform well, coupled with the world cup fervour it seemed appropriate to make bold statements. There is nothing wrong with saying the wallabies will win, I’m not reluctant to put myself out there, if you are looking for a more balanced and carefully worded article that does not voice personal opinion then there are plenty around.
Why the Wallabies will win the World Cup
In 2003 England was ranked number 1 going into the tournament and Australia moved in the last test before the world cup into 3rd place, Cannot really find the data for 1995

Why the Wallabies will win the World Cup
Essentially you are right. It is a game that involves two sides and it comes down to that 80 minutes not what is on paper. However one can make a statement such as “yes we will” and be filled with conviction… you can also be wrong… I may be wrong, but we will just have to wait and see.
Why the Wallabies will win the World Cup
Agreed, I do have a slight bias towards Mccabe, but I think that his defensive record throughout the trinations is astounding, 97% successful tackle rate, which is equal first in the wallabies squad and comes down to two missed tackles in the series.
His work rate is also excellent. It is all about pairing him with someone else who provides similar consistency and then leave the brilliance to los tres amigos!
Why the Wallabies will win the World Cup
absolute rot
Minnows have to remain in the competition, its a worldcup not some rotational 12 nations competition. It would be a bore without them and not a true representation of International Rugby Union.
The prohibitive aspect of the cost for people to attend the games is probably a lack of Aussies turning up and I can tell you I have no qualms getting on a plane and heading over for the prices they are charging at the gates. The beds are the problem, most ridiculous expenses for accommodation, It was not like that in Australia in 2003, I suppose the NZ hospitality market is not competitive enough and thus we see these hijinks.
But back to the minnows, I was only 14 in 2003 and I will never forget seeing the clashes between Romania, Argentina, Japan and the USA they were great games and memorable experiences, bring it on, I will be watching all the games I can irrespective of whether the are big fish or minnows!
IRB declares New Zealand Rugby World Cup ready
I completely agree, really poor form,
My advice is pull sick days and make a beeline for the local pub
Failing that, there will be dozens upon dozens of internet streams on different websites so just use them!
Hold on tight for a brilliant, unpredictable 2011 RWC tournament
Guys stop the McCabe bashing. He is a gutsy and hard player who stepped up, his commitment and passion was evidenced in his every move. The sort of player who plays rugby for the love of the game brings a quality to a team that cannot be matched by the “brand players”. I expect fantastic things from him in the years to come.
Deans did make mistakes, but really who do you replace him with? Mckenzie?? We chose Deans on a far superior super rugby coaching record, so obviously basing a successor coaching placement on how Mcckenzie performed with the reds is following the same logic and not guaranteed to bring results.
I think that while there is a lot to work on. The Wallabies squad is heading in the right direction for success in the near future. A lot more work needs to be done with the forwards, but we are heading there, albeit too late to bring back bill this year
Time to kick Deans and his cronies to the curb
